its hard to find one, and undertray helps ALOT.

i made one in about 30 minutes until i can figure out how im going to makeone out of aluminum.

i took a 20$ sheet of lexan from home depot, 4 L brackets from stanlys hardware and a aluminum support bracket.

2 will mount to the oil cooler bracket, 2 to the bolts on the sides of the inner wall.

Ok well I have a temporary undertray until I can find a proper one, but my car is still getting kinda hot about 230 farenheit at one point, at least that's what the gauge reads, (installed an aftermarket gauge)
